Illinois Anti-Gun Bills Await Further Action

The anti-gun extremists are active in Springfield, with numerous bills which attack our Right to Keep and Bear Arms poised for possible action, including floor votes. This week, the House Executive Committee passed Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s (D) bill to impose a 2% sales tax on ammunition—House Bill 5167, introduced by state Representative Kelly Cassidy (D-14)—and his Handgun Registration Bill—House Bill 5831, introduced by state Representative William Davis (D-30). Both bills are now on the House floor awaiting action.
